Among the single essential ideas in business is the sales funnel. Sales funnels can boost your earnings online by automating your organisation. They provide a course of least resistance to growing and scaling your organisation on auto-pilot. However after hanging around with a few of the world's finest marketers, I can tell you with near certainty, not just just how sales funnels will permit you to make even more loan online, however which specific funnels you must carry out.
Currently, if you're anything like me, you could be averse to particular funnels. As an example, I'm not at all an ecommerce person, but I do recognize that free-plus-shipping funnels are definitely crushing it. In fact, just this past week, while attending the Closing Table Mastermind with Perry Belcher as well as Roland Frasier, I got a lot more understanding into the attractive "tripwire" funnel, purportedly created by Perry Belcher.
However, Belcher really did not develop the concept. He drew that from an old Columbia House advertisement that sold 13 CDs or tapes for the huge price of $1.00. Remember it? But we all know that this tempting deal (also known as tripwire) had means much more to it than just the $1.00 price tag. Behind-the-scenes, there was a connection program at the office. In Columbia House's' model, this was called adverse choice billing. That suggests, you automatically get routine monthly deliveries (in addition to an expense) unless you specifically specify or else.
So why is this so powerful as well as what does it relate to sales funnels? Actually, what you'll notice is that Columbia House's sales funnel was rather straightforward. You just picked the CDs or tapes you wanted for a buck, after that obtained a normal month-to-month delivery each and every single month at a pre-defined rate. They would constantly bill you for those CDs or tapes every month. There were variants of this deal as well where you can order 11 CDs or tapes for one dime then obtain the 12th free.
Regardless you take a look at it, these were all irresistible offers. This was as well good to miss. However what Columbia House and also various other business understood was that, although they would certainly lose cash out of eviction, they would, typically, over time, make money turn over initially. Which is the power of the sales funnel. Before automation, this is how sales funnels worked. And, if you hired, you would obtain a real-time person effectively strolling you through the funnel.
The Columbia House instance offers deep understanding right into the psychology of an offer that's irresistible. By very first figuring out the lifetime value of a consumer and also their retention price, Columbia House figured out that it could spend a specific amount of loan acquiring consumers and still be highly lucrative. That's basically what's done with sales funnels today. And also what really makes those sales funnels so powerful are tripwires.
Today, it's the tripwire that develops the irresistible offer. Although Columbia House really did not fairly have significant up-sells or down-sells in their funnels, they produced a straightforward 2 step funnel that functioned. It worked due to the fact that the tripwire was so attractive. It appealed deeply to the consumer. Nevertheless, exactly how can you withstand a deal like that for 12 or 13 CDs or tapes for $1 or 1 cent when they were retailing at around $10 each at the time.
Another effective example of this was through Sports Illustrated. As a matter of fact, Sports Illustrated was efficiently on the decrease at the time it presented its advanced tripwire. There's something about tangible things that individuals simply get in touch with. Even when you're providing an electronic details product on the backside, by sweetening the take care of a concrete good, you can fairly actually send your conversions via the roof.
In the example of Sports Illustrated, take yourself back to 1990 when magazine membership rates were beginning to leave. Because duration, Sports Illustrated endured a 7% decline in their flow in the first fifty percent of the year. Now, no matter what they did, they were unable to get the membership prices up. Even by providing deep discounts on memberships, consumers weren't ordering it. And also, if they discounted as well steeply, it would impact their ability to get marketers paying premium rates without revealing that customers were paying close to the complete cover price of the magazine.
Sports Illustrated, possessed by Time, Inc., had not been the only magazine that was experiencing under the company's umbrella. Individuals magazine had actually additionally experienced an extreme decline of 5%. Time, Inc., recognized that it required to do something fast. So it started to provide a tripwire that consisted of sports mistakes on VHS. Nonetheless, the expense was exorbitant as well as there were just numerous slips it can offer. So, they looked to the football phone as the brand-new tripwire.
Why the football phone? Initially, it interested the target market. And, it was unique and interesting. Even more interesting than a dull magazine registration. The football-shaped phone idea was developed by Sports Illustrated's supervisor of blood circulation at the time, Michael Loeb. Back then, advertising and marketing on cable television was additionally extremely cost-effective. And also, the phone, which was sourced from China, just set you back a few dollars "landed". So everything made good sense.
Loeb worked on the logistics of this deal for many months. Nevertheless, that had not been the only deal. They likewise cooked up an offer that included a tennis shoe phone. If you'll think back to 1990-1991, it was both supplies that were running nearly simultaneously. Talk about an early-on split-test, right?
So, what were the outcomes of all this? Over 1 million new customers. That's right. And those deals just ran for a restricted time. Yet it effectively conserved the firm. That's the power of a tripwire deal. It's a tangible item that obtains individuals thrilled about whatever else the core offer is. Actually, some individuals will just purchase what you're marketing solely for the uniqueness of the tangible tripwire deal.
Sales funnels are just one of the single most powerful concepts in service today for a really certain factor. It's not simply the example of the tripwire that's effective. It's the whole kitten bunch, so to speak. There are a lot of components and components to what make a sales funnel work so well that I wished to simplify as well as provide some more examples to offer a deeper understanding to exactly how you can utilize them to increase your revenue online.
Currently, if you're not making use of a sales funnel right now, or if you're just discovering what a sales funnel is, after that there are a couple of methods you can promptly leverage this effective principle in your business to create eruptive outcomes. Primarily, if you don't have a ClickFunnels account, go right here as well as enroll in the 14-day totally free trial. As soon as you've arrangement your account, grab a customized domain name and start building your funnel. If you require assistance, enjoy a few of the on-boarding video clips consisted of with ClickFunnels.
No matter if you have an existing organisation or you're working to arrangement a new company, funnels are the trick to expanding and also scaling no matter where you're beginning with. Nevertheless, there are 5 specific means you can make use of sales funnels to increase your income right now. It matters not what organisation you remain in or what you're selling, you can take advantage of these today, now, to produce eruptive results.
At the Inner Circle mastermind today, Russell Brunson dissected the hook-story-offer method that precedes developing the funnel. Can you build a sales funnel before you have a hook and also a story? Yes. However you might have trouble gaining traction, especially if you're competing in a red ocean. Red seas are entrepreneur-infested waters contending for the very same pool of customers, whereas blue oceans are a location where couple of entrepreneurs are swimming in.
What does that tell you? Spend the time responsible and also the tale. Yes, the deal is likewise crucial. However it's the hook as well as the story that's going to reel leads in. For instance, Brunson made use of the narrative of fit-to-fat-to-fat owner, Drew Manning. Manning, who was in wonderful form, went out there as well as gained a lot of weight over a 6 month duration to much better understand what it seems like to be fat. But then he went out there and lost all the weight.
That right there is an amazing hook and also story. It's unique. And, because of that, Manning has actually experienced a meteoric surge, even though his offer isn't that good. Yet when the hook and the tale is so great, the offer is nearly useless. Effectively, you can market almost anything when the hook and also the story just squash it. One more example is the tale of Robert Allen who would certainly constantly claim he can be dropped in any city in the nation and also acquire a house no loan down within 60 days. Which's exactly what he did. His brand has actually done over a billion dollars in sales because of it.
Those are all terrific hooks and also tales. Without that, your deal will battle. If you can generate an unique way to create your hook and tale, the rest will form. Given that there is so much red sea out there, this is probably among one of the most crucial indicate make before you introduce any type of sales funnel.
Tripwires are excellent low-barrier-of-entry products that make potential customers use their credit cards. Typically, these are too-good-to-pass-up items that are supplied at an astonishing price. Just think of the tripwire used by Columbia House or Sports Illustrated, for example. Tripwires aid make it easier to obtain new customers, and then to rise them up your value ladder.
Anything that makes client procurement more difficult, such as an expensive service or product out of eviction, is mosting likely to make expanding and also scaling your organisation harder. The reality is that it sets you back 5 times as much to draw in a new customer as it does to preserve an existing one. That's why tripwires are so effective. They reduced the barrier-of-entry into your company. And also anything that can decrease the obstacle of entrance is constantly optimal.
One more great means to launch a sales funnel and also conveniently raise your income no matter what business you remain in is with a lead magnet. The lead magnet needs to add genuine worth. But it can be in numerous layouts such as a PDF digital book, list, rip off sheet and more. After the download, you can supply a single deal. This means a three-step funnel. You might additionally develop an up-sell if they take the one-time deal or perhaps a payment-plan down-sell if they decline it.
Why do a lead magnet with lots of worth? Initially, you're setting on your own up as a professional. If that web content is genuinely actionable, and also it adds a huge amount of worth to the possibility's life, then they're going to regard you as the authority. But it does something even more than that. It's a matter of micro-commitments. The theory? Get somebody to agree to do 3 small things for you as well as the 4th one is instantaneously an indeed.
Among the most effective sales funnels you can build is based around the webinar. As a matter of fact, it was the webinar that conserved Brunson's business from insolvency a number of times. It was a mix as well as culmination of understanding that bring about the excellent webinar manuscript, which develops the basis for the best sales funnel. A few of it originated from Jason Fladlien, while other pieces originated from in other places in Brunson's trip.
Nevertheless, all that details incorporated into the layout of a perfect webinar and also funnel, has actually transformed the businesses of many business owners who have actually taken their expertise and also monetized it through the exponential force of webinars. Building a webinar is one of the surest courses to success with a sales funnel. In fact, the webinar funnel is fairly potentially the most transformative funnel you can launch for any kind of business, brand-new or old.
The application allows you to weed out those that aren't serious. And also, on the telephone call, you can close the deal. Currently, this sort of sales funnel works if you have actually already had results with customers. If not, work for free until you get results for individuals. After that, gather testimonials and utilize those as part of the pitch for the mentoring.
Possibly one of the largest and also most prominent sales funnels nowadays is the free-plus-shipping deal funnel. It makes a great access factor into any type of funnel by creating a single offer or up-sell after the deal, comparable to a tripwire funnel. Nevertheless, the difference here is the power of the word free. Yes, tripwires, which are really inexpensive services or products, work well. Yet there is real power in the word complimentary.
In fact, individuals will certainly jump up and down for a free offer, even if they need to cover the shipping as well as handling, in contrast to taking a deal that they even need to pay a little amount of money for.

23 November 101 A.D. Clement, Pupil of Apostles, Martyred, & Cast Into Sea
Graves, Dan. "St. Clement, Pupil of Apostles, Martyred." Christianity.com. Apr 2007. http://www.christianity.com/church/church-history/timeline/1-300/st-clement-pupil-of-apostles-martyred-11629591.html. Accessed 12 Jun 2014.
Imagine being tied to an anchor and cast into the sea. According to legend, that was the fate that befell Clement of Rome under the emperor Domitian. This is probably incorrect, however, since Domitian died before the turn of the first century and church historian Eusebius of Caesarea tells us Clement was martyred on this day, November 23, 101, which would put his death in the reign of Trajan.
Clement was only the fourth bishop of Rome, the first possibly being Peter. Did he know Peter and Paul? It is completely possible that those two Spirit-filled men taught him. Clement even wrote a letter to the Corinthian church that echoed the teachings of the apostles. We know next to nothing about the two bishops between Peter and Clement. But Clement's letter made him stand out among the early leaders of the Roman church.
The Roman church claims that Clement's letter proves that the popes (although they weren't called by that name for many centuries to come) were already seen as the heads of the whole Christian church. Protestant and Orthodox scholars disagree, saying it was natural for Corinth to turn to one of the largest and most prestigious churches of the day for advice and arbitration.
However that may be, the 65 short chapters of Clement's letter to Corinth were even considered scripture by some Christians up until the 5th century! Corinth was still having the same kinds of trouble with sexual immorality and infighting that Paul had dealt with in letters written years before. Clement's letter was written because a number of Corinthians had banded together against their church leaders and thrown them out of office. Clement reproved this behavior and suggested a better way:
"...God wanted all his beloved ones to have the opportunity to repent and he confirmed this desire by his own almighty will. That is why we should obey his sovereign and glorious will and prayerfully entreat his mercy and kindness. We should be suppliant before him and turn to his compassion, rejecting empty works and quarreling and jealousy which only lead to death."
Clement may have written a sermon that bears his name and he was said to have gathered together a large collection of church law called the Apostolic Constitutions. Scholars aren't able to verify either claim.
We don't know why Domitian (or Trajan) executed Clement. Many of the early bishops of Rome suffered death at the hands of the secular authorities, however; so it is a good guess that Clement stood up for truth in the corrupt capitol of the empire and paid for it with his life.

When Larry Coker was laying the groundwork for UTSA football, he carried the Roadrunners' only helmet and a makeshift jersey to community events, wanting to provide tangible evidence that the program was real.
Last week, Coker watched on television as more than 41,000 believers in the Alamodome celebrated UTSA's first Conference USA championship — the most significant payoff yet to a startup process Coker led from his hiring in 2009, through the first game in 2011, to the end of the 2015 season.
"That's what I was hoping it would be and that's what it should be," Coker said. "That was the vision when this thing started, that the community would get around it and it would be San Antonio's team."
Between visits with recruits during a busy weekend at McNeese, Frank Wilson, Coker's successor, kept an eye on the score and caught glimpses of the action when he could. His UTSA tenure began in 2016 with a philosophy of looking locally and never compromising on talent. Nineteen of the Roadrunners' 22 starters in the 2021 title game were recruited by and played at least one season under Wilson before his firing at the end of 2019.
UTSA's 49-41 win against Western Kentucky on Dec. 3 in the Alamodome to secure the first C-USA title in program history marked an apex for the Roadrunners and the culmination of coach Jeff Traylor's two-year turnaround. But the crowning moment in the program's 11-year run also stood as a testament to the leaders and players who came before them.
"You're so excited that those guys went to UTSA and at the end of their career were able to play to a 12-1 season," Wilson said. "Man, a 12-win season. Hats off to coach Traylor and his staff for the job they've done, but I'm just super happy for those players that they were able to reach that."
When Wilson's recruiting visits brought him to the homes of area talents like quarterback Frank Harris, running back Sincere McCormick, offensive lineman Spencer Burford and safety Rashad Wisdom, one of their main motivations to choose UTSA was the prospect of earning a championship in San Antonio.
After the Roadrunners brought that plan to fruition, Wilson said a few of his former recruits reached out with celebratory text messages. He responded by telling them how proud he was — and that he loved them.
"They were the right type of player, and we thought, in time, we could have success," Wilson said. "Time ran out on us, but they bring in coach Traylor and his staff and they do an outstanding job of building and growing that and to continue to move forward. The kids have rallied, the community has rallied and it's a beautiful thing.
"Sometimes you go there to do a job and you're not there to see it pan out. But from afar, you're able to look and still beam with pride."
Aside from 2016 arrivals kicker Hunter Duplessis and linebacker DeQuarius Henry, most of the Roadrunners were not even recruited by the program until years after Coker's departure.
Still, UTSA's inaugural coach forged a connection with Traylor and the 2021 roster, addressing the team to deliver simple messages like "be the best you can be" and "trust your coaches."
Coker said showing his continued support for the Roadrunners is important, even in retirement. After a 2001 national championship in the first of six seasons as the coach at Miami (Fla.), he came to UTSA wanting to leave a legacy and put his stamp on a program.
The Roadrunners endured "a lot of tough times" in the early days, Coker said, using equipment handed down from Texas and UTEP to get through a 2010 season with no games — only practices at Farris Stadium, a Northside ISD high school facility.
For all the challenges, Coker looks back on the startup process as a "great experience" he "wouldn't trade for anything." He knew the Alamodome and San Antonio's fertile recruiting grounds were enough to build a thriving program, but he said he didn't anticipate championship results as quickly as this season.
"They've come so far and I'm just so happy for them and just pleased to have been a part of it," Coker said. "I knew it would be successful and I really believed it could be. No doubt in my mind."
Wilson reflected on the meetings, handshakes, conversations and even "begging" sometimes required to push the program forward, working with the administration to build a Division I-caliber football facility he could recruit to. He said he received a few phone calls when UTSA held the August ribbon-cutting for the $40.4 million Roadrunner Athletics Center of Excellence (RACE) — a project devised during Wilson's tenure and a step he described as "monumental."
Lynn Hickey, UTSA's athletic director from 1999-2017 who led the program through the foundational steps of funding and launching football, recalled erecting temporary walls around the breezeway of the physical education building to create "some semblance of an office" for the coaches.
When Bandera quarterback Cole Hubble arrived as the program's first signee, he and Hickey talked about the dream of getting the Roadrunners to a bowl game. Years passed before a conference title became a reasonable goal for the fledgling program.
"It was kind of your baby and you want it to continue to do well — and they are," Hickey said. "The future looks very, very bright. I'm just proud that I had a small part in building the program."
Rather than bask in UTSA's championship, Traylor said he keeps his mind "always on the next thing," waking up before 5 a.m. to devise schedules for different bowl possibilities or to plan around the upcoming signing period.
Even with a 10-year contract that runs through 2031, Traylor knows he'll someday hand the mantle over to the fourth coach in program history. Maybe then, when he's "taking care of grandkids," he can carve out a window to truly reflect on what the Roadrunners have accomplished.
"This is a special moment in our time," Traylor said. "We're going to look back one day and say we helped hand this off to another generation, and that's big."


Get your staff psyched to work for you.
When morale is low in your workplace, it can adversely affect productivity and the overall success of your company. According to a 2006 study published in "Work and Occupations," researchers found that work effort and productivity increases when workplace morale is at its highest levels. Talk to staff members and managers to find out how to improve the spirits of employees.
Review your managers. According to a 2006 survey from a consulting firm in Chicago, Challenger, Grey and Christmas, poor leadership was named as the number one cause of low morale in the workplace. Over 73 percent of respondents blamed managers as the reason morale was not good.
Delegate the work responsibilities appropriately. If staff members feel that they are being overworked, the mood of the office is likely to be affected. Review workloads to see if any projects could be placed on the back burner or transfer work to someone with a light workload.
Bring some fun into the office. If your budget allows it, splurge on a treat for your staff members. It could be a monthly catered lunch from a restaurant or an early dismissal on a Friday.
Recognize the efforts of your staff members. If you don't acknowledge their contributions, employees may feel disgruntled. An appreciative note or email or a small gift at the completion of a project could help improve morale.
Deal with negative employees directly. If you know one of the employees is spreading gossip or starting fights, make arrangements to meet with him. Find out why he is unhappy and how you can help diffuse the situation.
Learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of each employee. New challenges and opportunities could inspire your staff members. For instance, if you have a staff member interested in another department, such as information technology, arrange for her to attend a seminar or training session on the subject.

2018: Is the Spirit Rising? -- Part 2
Submitted by Rabbi Arthur Waskow on 12/12/2017
Today we face a concerted effort to overturn American democracy and to substitute an oligarchy of the Hyper-Wealthy.
This New American Oligarchy even tries to choke to death our Mother Earth –- the home that makes possible all human life -- by strangling the renewable-energy business while subsidizing Big Oil and Big Coal and removing the anti-pollution regulations that protect the purity of our water, food, and breathable air. All for its own enormous profit.
You would expect the people who will suffer from this Oligarchy of the Hyper-Wealthy to rise up and throw these murderous rascals out of office. How do those who attack democracy make themselves electable? By calling forth the latent fears and bigotries that, once given new energy and visibility, begin to deny the human rights of Black folk, of immigrants and refugees, of Muslims and perhaps of Jews, of independent-minded women who are no longer cowed by sexual harassment and violence.
Denying human rights is the goal of Oligarchy. And it also becomes the means by which to achieve that goal.
Already we have seen the emergence of a movement that calls itself Resistance. To tell the truth, so far it is more Remonstrance than Resistance. When civil-rights organizations begged Congress to pass a law, that was Remonstrance. When four college kids sat down at a lunch counter, that was Resistance. It took both to change America.
One of the most astonishing and important aspects of this movement is that the largest demonstration in US history, three million people scattered all across the country on last January 21, was imagined by women, led by women, and made up mostly, by far, of women. And they didn't just march and go home. Thousands of them decided to run for political office for the first time.
That is a systemic breakthrough. It has already had an effect on our culture – on the ubiquitous, iniquitous sexual harassment, violation, and rape that more and more women are coming out of the closet of shame and impotence to challenge.
What is the role of the Spirit and of religious and spiritual communities in this struggle? The attacks on racial and religious minorities, on women and the GLBTQ community, on immigrants, on the Earth, are all attacks on different limbs and organs of the ONE. These attacks deny the interwoven interbreathing that suffuses all life. These attacks wound and threaten to kill the life that scientists call an ecosystem, in which every species is crucial to all the others.
This is what Jesus meant when he said, "If you harm even the least of these, you are harming me." It is what the Sh'ma says: "Hush'sh'sh and listen, you Godwrestlers who live amongst all peoples, hush'sh'sh and listen to the Breath of Life, the still small voice that is our sacred truth: That Voice is One!" It is what the Holy Quran is saying: "God created us from a single pair of human beings in order to evolve into varied tribes and nations, not to despise each other but to know and love each other, bringing our diversities into our single family."
It is democracy, not Oligarchy, that carries that truth into the world of action. And if our religious and spiritual communities can revive that message, can turn it into liturgies of light and passion, can make festivals like Hanukkah and Advent and Eid into moments when our legs are[raying as we nonviolently confront the Oligarchy, then it will fall and the Spirit will arise.
There will be an election in November that may serve as a referendum on Trumpery –-- not just an "advisory" referendum but more -- either a reconfirmation or a serious reduction in its power. But there is a long way to walk before anyone runs in November, and I want to lift up what may be the two most dangerous moments we may face this coming year.
One is that Mr. Trump may decide he is in such legal and political danger from the investigation headed by Robert Mueller that he fires Mueller and/or pardons his own family and close advisers. That would be a break in the rule of law in America and a threat to all our spiritual truths.
If this usurpation of ultimate power were left unchallenged, few of our human rights and little of our democracy would survive.
On the other hand, our traditions teach that when the tyrannies of Pharaoh and Caesar and the power elite of Mecca became unbearable, the Spirit broke through and new communities were born.
The second possible moment of great danger is perhaps a month or two before the November elections, if polls show the Democrats are about to carry the Congress and Mr. Trump decides to pull out of the hat the oldest trick of a politician in trouble: He goes to war and invokes war powers to control the political situation at home.
In regard to the second possibility, I know of no planning or even brainstorming -- yet. In regard to the first possibility, the on-line progressive stalwart Move On and dozens of other strong progressive groups have joined to set up a Rapid Response network to go into action if Mr. Trump tries to fire Special Counsel Mueller. Within hours, that network intends to mobilize millions of Americans into public demonstrations.
You can access the plans at <https://act.moveon.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response-events/search/>
What would be the demand of such demonstrations?
One proposal I have seen on line is that in such a crucial moment, we demand new general elections in November. For President and Vice-President and for the whole Senate as well as the whole House of Representatives.
That would be Resistance, not only Remonstrance. It would break the conventional rules, but in a way that affirms the rules.
[Last Sunday, when I raised this possibility at a Human Rights Day gathering in South Jersey sponsored by Amnesty International, the gathering startled me by breaking into applause and cheers. That moment was noted by two local newspapers that covered the event.]
Now a harder question: How could such a demand be carried out, with or without acquiescence by the election apparatus in most states?
To begin with, by insisting, by refusing to leave public squares and streets and even Federal office buildings until the election apparatus agrees.
And where it does not, by holding our own elections in or near the regular precincts, in churches and synagogues and mosques, in schools and community centers. And then sending our own newly elected representatives to Washington –- the White House, the Senate –- to challenge the credentials and occupy the seats of those who were voted out.
This is what the Black and white pro-civil-rights community of Mississippi did in 1964, when Black folk couldn't vote anywhere in the state. They organized the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party and voted in churches and community centers for an independent-minded delegation to the Democratic National Convention that summer.
The delegation, led by Fannie Lou Hamer, demanded that the Convention seat them instead of the all-white pro-segregation, and racist delegation that had long held those Mississippi seats
This suggestion of new elections next November goes even deeper into what we think the rules are, and broader across the whole country. Would it be easy now? Of course not. But if the time were ever ripe for a deep reexamination of our political system, now is when.
What about later in the year? Say it is September, polls show the Democrats poised for a big win in Congress, and Mr. Trump decides to change the conversation by bombing Iran or North Korea. No declaration of war or authorization by Congress.
What could our spiritual and religious communities do in such a crisis?
Let me end by inviting you-all to do three things:
1) Either click to <https://www.facebook.com/events/881082792061621/> and register to head to Washington DC early tomorrow to join another wave of sit-ins on Capitol Hill to stop the Tax Deform bill, or call 1202-244-3121, ask for Senator Collins and then Senator McCain, and urge them both to announce now they will vote No on final passage of the bill..
2) Click to <https://act.moveon.org/event/mueller-firing-rapid-response-events/search/> and check out the plans for Rapid Response if Speciaal Counsel Mueller is fired.
3) Join in the brainstorming about what to do if Mr. Trump tries to fire Special Counsel Mueller, or if he goes to war later in 2018. Write me your thoughts, for publication with your name unless you say not.
Celebrate the festivals of Light in times of Darkness! Kindle the candles of Hanukkah (beginning tonght) and Advent.

Prunus 'Berry' CASCADE SNOW(TM) is one of the most disease-resistant ornamental cherries available for the Northwest landscape. It is particularly well adapted to landscapes on the west side of the Cascade and Coast ranges, both for its ornamental qualities and for its demonstrated resistance to brown rot and shot hole diseases that plague most of the other cherries in our climate. In spring the tree is covered with large, single, snow-white blossoms. The foliage that follows is dark green and looks great throughout the summer. In autumn the leaves change to shades of yellow and bronzy orange. The parent plant of this cultivar is at the Berry Botanic Garden in Portland, Oregon. There it has long been admired by visitors for its year-round beauty. The tree was originally imported from Japan, but records were since lost. It may in fact be an old Japanese cultivar. The original tree was propagated and those plants were put through extensive trials for nearly a decade to verify its disease-resistant qualities. CASCADE SNOW(TM) can be used as a street tree or incorporated into any sunny spot in the garden.

4 Stars of Gothic Tales of Gargoyles vs. Demons with Frankenstein's Monster in the middle.
For Stuart Beattie's, (Pirates of the Caribbean, Saga) second film (mainly a writer) he has come up with a twist on the legend that is Frankenstein's monster. Set after the death of Victor Frankenstein, (Aden Young, Killer Elite) in a frozen region of the North, the monster heads back to the scene of his crime (the murder of Victors Wife Elizabeth) and buries Victor in the family plot.
What he doesn't know is that demons know of Frankenstein's work and wish to use the knowledge written in his personal journal, written two years earlier in 1793.
He is attacked by the demons as he starts to fill the grave. He tries to fight them off and manages to kill one of them, resulting in a fireball, when out of the night sky two Gargoyles, Ophir, (Mahesh Jadu, The Three Ages of Sasha) and Keziah, (Caitlin Stasey, Tomorrow, When the War Began) that had been standing position on a nearby building swoop down and destroy the remaining demons.

I ended up launching a boutique winery in Sydney, ended up doing a bit of work for a fine wine distributor in Sydney and things spiraled from there. I joined Man O' War as the Sales/Export Manager and sold my fashion label last year.
I love working for an incredible emerging wine region like Waiheke Island, I love watching people taste our wines and the look of surprise on their face when they realize we make world class wines there!

Michigan Economy

As I wrote in my previous posts about the upcoming elections, at the core of our work is the belief that globalization and technology are mega forces, far stronger than politics/policy, that are fundamentally changing our economy now and forever. There is no way to stop either of them. So that the change Michigan needs to make is not unique to us, but global. The entire planet is trying to figure out how best to align with new realities.
Two recent articles demonstrate the global nature of the challenges. The first from Reuters is titled "Lack of skilled workers threatens recovery: Manpower". It is about the global shortage of skilled trades. In a recent post I wrote about manufacturers here and across the country having jobs available and not finding qualified candidates. Not surprising it is a global challenge. With machines now and in the future doing more and more of the work human used to, skill requirements are constantly being raised. And no country has yet figured out how to prepare, at scale, workers for those jobs.
The second from the New York Times is titled "Loss of Young Talent Thwarts Malaysia's Growth". Sound familiar? Talent is increasingly mobile. And the competition is not Detroit and Grand Rapids vs. Chicago and Seattle. Talent from across the globe can and will go anywhere. Particularly young talent which is the most mobile. And as Rick Karlgaard, the publisher of Forbes says, " … where the go, robust economic activity will follow".
The article quotes the World Bank reporting that a lack of human capital is a "critical constraint in Malaysia's ambition to become a high-income economy." It's true for Malaysia, us and everywhere else. The places that do best will be those who retain and attract talent from anywhere on the planet. Nothing else comes close in determining how prosperous a country/state/region will be.

How do you recapture the shock impact of Alfred Jarry's 1896 play, with its savage portrait of a grotesque monster? Given that Jarry's play started as a schoolboy prank aimed at a detested teacher, Declan Donnellan has had a brilliant idea in this Cheek By Jowl production : he plays it as the Oedipal fantasy of a camcorder-clutching teenager taking revenge on his parents and their French bourgeois world.
In a slightly overlong preface, we see the boy-hero roaming through the family home as if filming a silent horror flick. But the trigger for his rage is the sight of his parents fondling each other before they host a dinner party. In his bilious imagination his father turns into the power‑mad Père Ubu, his mother becomes a knife-wielding seductress, and the guests morph into the authority figures whose fate is to be murdered or usurped. Donnellan's skill lies in never letting us forget the dinner-party framework – an ice bucket and peppermill become an orb and sceptre; a lampshade stands in for a crown. There are also some hilarious jump-cuts between fantasy and reality: no sooner have we seen the father filmically committing an act of unspeakable torture than his wife breezes into the dining room asking, "Anyone allergic to pine nuts?"
I was constantly reminded of Luis Buñuel's The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, where a meal turns into a massacre. If that is the influence, it is an inspired one, and Donnellan gets richly uninhibited performances from his cast. Christophe Grégoire as Père Ubu moves from benign host to snickering psychopath, Camille Cayol as his cucumber-cool wife turns into an emblem of rampant sexuality and greed, and Sylvain Levitte as their son never lets us forget that everything is being filtered through his tortured adolescent imagination. Nick Ormerod's set, incorporating battlefield chaos in a world of civilised chic, reinforces the point that murderous monstrosity, as with charity, begins at home.

Michael Grosch	in Homilies	 April 10, 2012 April 10, 2012 1,064 Words
Homily From Easter Sunday 2012
He was born in Corpus Christi, Texas, but moved to Wildwood, Missouri when he was young and grew up there. He played baseball for Lafayette High School as a shortstop but gave up the sport after graduation and worked maintenance for Rockwood School District. Eventually though, he returned and played for St. Louis Community College at Meremac, and then for the University of South Alabama. It was there as a senior that he his .414, with a .503 on-base percentage, with 73 runs and 73 RBI's in only 60 games. Those numbers hearned him a place as a NCAA All American, and he was drafted by the San Diego Padres in 2006, where he played in the minor leagues until he was traded to the St. Louis Cadinals in 2008 for outfielder Jim Edmonds. Unless you've lived under a rock for the past several months, you know who I'm talking about: Cardinals third baseman, David Freese. Freese was always a good player, but there was one event (really one game) that changed him forever – Game 6 of the 2011 World Series. Since then, he's become a celebrity, appearing on shows like Leno and Letterman, and even the Country Music Awards show. With one game, his life was changed.
Ok, so I'm a bit excited about the Cardinals season getting started, but David Freese isn't the only person whose life was changed like that. Lets think about St. Peter. He was always a pretty faithful guy in the gospels. He made those professions of faith, saying that Jesus was the Christ, the Son of the Living God. When others couldn't take Jesus' teaching and left, Peter turned to Jesus and said, "Lord, to whom shall we go?" But he had failed. The last we heard of him, he was hiding in shame after denying to know Jesus three times during his suffering and death. But then we meet up with him again today. And by the time we hear him in the first reading from the Acts of the Apostles, he is a totally different man! One moment he's hiding in fear of persecution, and the next he's fearlessly preaching in the streets of Jerusalem, proclaiming that Jesus is raised from the dead! This guy is a fisherman! How many of us could get up and say something like that! Like our favorite third baseman, one event changed his life – his encounter with the Empty Tomb. It had changed everything.
And of course it had! Sure, Jesus had taught some pretty extreme and groundbreaking stuff: his call to extraordinary mercy and forgiveness for those who sin against us, his promise to give grace through a Church that would endure forever, his invitation to an intimate relationship with God as our Father, and most of all, his claim to be the Son of God, forgiving sin and reestablishing that communion between us and God.
But then, evil had it's way with God's Son. It had done all it could to break down the courage of Jesus. It had torn his friends from his side, including Peter, and left him alone and broken, both in body and spirit in public execution. It had exhausted its arsenal of hate, injustice, humiliation, and pain. But if that was the end, none of us would be here this morning. I wouldn't be up here preaching. You wouldn't be sitting there in those pews. None of the things Jesus had taught would be worth listening to. He would have been another nice guy, a good teacher, who finished last, again. He would have been one more paragraph in a history textbook, or one more lecture in a philosophy class. He would have been one more dreamer whose claims were crushed by the reality of life.
But for Peter, when he peered into that tomb and found it empty, when he saw the burial shroud cast away, when he saw the cloth that had once covered Jesus' broken and beaten head rolled up and neatly placed aside, he knew that Jesus was risen. He knew that all Jesus had taught was true. He knew that the power of sin and death was beaten, and that God was triumphant. He knew that his life was changed.
Today, we're invited to ask ourselves how it has changed us. How do we let this great event, this great celebration affect our lives. Today, we are called to be transformed. Probably each of us are going to rejoice in some way today, taking time to celebrate the victory that Christ shares with us – whether it be through meals with the family, taking time to rejoice together here at Mass, having the day off from work (maybe), or rotting your teeth with jellybeans or my favorite, Cadberry cream eggs. But let's not stop it there. Let us let this great mystery of the resurrection change our lives, like it did Peter's. Probably most of us tried to make an effort to live in a special way during Lent. Some of us probably gave something up for Lent, or didn't eat meat on Fridays. And we did those things to try to make ourselves better followers of Christ. So why not try to allow the power of the resurrection to continue that within us, to permeate our lives and help us to continue to live the joy of Easter. Easter will last for 8 more weeks, so maybe rather than giving something up out of penance, we can do something extra to rejoice for those 8 weeks, but for the same purpose as Lent – to make ourselves better followers of Christ, as much in the joyful moments of our lives as when we need him the most.
2000 years after Jesus' resurrection, we are reminded today of that mystery. It can be easy for us to see it as one event in history that we sort of recall for a day each year. But today is about more than remembering. Today is our encounter with the empty tomb, with the risen Christ. As we approach his glorified and risen body now in the Eucharist, let us open our hearts to him, so that he might transform us as he did those first witnesses of his resurrection. And let us pray together today with the whole Church in saying, "Christ is truly risen, Alleluia!"

Q: Understanding volatile variable by example I've been reading a section about volatile variable in the JSL. The spec provides an example and I tried to experiment with it. I've written the code:
static volatile int i = 0, j = 0;

public static void main(String args[]) {
    Thread t1 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            for (int k = 0; i < 200000; k++) {
                i++;
                j++;
            }
        }
    });
    Thread t2 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
        public void run() {
            for (int k = 0; i < 200000; k++) {
                System.out.println("i=" + i + " j=" + j);
            }
        }
    });
    t1.start();
    t2.start();
}

Ok, I expected that j<=i (spec said that), but it's not true:
i=147609 j=147684
i=149412 j=149521
i=150447 j=150523
i=151384 j=151457

i=168055 j=168128
i=169002 j=169078
i=169948 j=170021
i=170898 j=170974
i=171851 j=171924
i=172794 j=172866
i=173724 j=173796
i=174658 j=174733
i=175641 j=175714
i=176572 j=176645
i=177503 j=177575
i=178442 j=178517
i=179394 j=179467
i=180328 j=180403
i=181276 j=181351
i=182232 j=182305
i=183178 j=183251
i=184130 j=184205
i=185092 j=185167
i=186043 j=186118
i=186998 j=187071
i=195792 j=195866
i=196718 j=196784
i=197629 j=197698
i=198543 j=198608
i=199489 j=199555

What's wrong?

A: The actual value of i will always be bigger or equal to j.
What you are seeing in the logs is not the actual (current) value of i and j. It is the value of i and j at the moment they were evaluated.
Your linked document states

It is possible, however, that any given invocation of method two might
  observe a value for j that is much greater than the value observed for
  i, because method one might be executed many times between the moment
  when method two fetches the value of i and the moment when method two
  fetches the value of j.

Thread t1 runs, increments i and j a bunch of times. Context switch. Thread t2 runs, evaluates i and concatenates it. Context switch. Thread t1 continues incrementing i and j. Context switch. Thread t2 evaluates j and concatenates it. So j is still smaller or equal to i, you just evaluated them at different times.

The standardization of charging ports to USB-C has been a net positive, but it does mean that you might have a charger on hand that fits a given item but doesn't provide quite enough juice. Anker's 30-watt USB-C wall charger can help with that. It can top up anything with the right port, from phones to laptops, and it's currently a steal at $18.
Aukey manages to cram a lot of features into its Bluetooth earbuds relative to their prices. The company's B80 earbuds — big brother to the impressive B60 — pack Bluetooth 5.0, aptX support, and USB-C charging. Those features are appealing at the headset's usual $80, and the current sale price of $51 makes the buds a steal.
It used to be hard to find a reasonably priced USB Type-C battery pack, but it's getting downright cheap these days. The Aukey PB-XN10 power bank is usually a good value at $23, but it's even cheaper today with a coupon code. It can be yours for a mere $17.01 if you act fast.

Savar mayor suspended, UNO withdrawn
Eight days after the Rana Plaza building collapse, at least eight people, including Savar municipality mayor, its councillors and engineers of Rajdhani Unnayan Kartipakhya (RAJUK), have been suspended. The decision was taken following a report filed by the probe committee formed by the LGRD ministry. The suspended people are: Savar municipality mayor Md Refayetullah, its councillor of word No-7 Mohammad Ali Khan, former chief executive officer of Savar municipality Uttam Kumar Roy (now working in Munshiganj municipality), former executive engineer of the municipality Md Rafiqul Islam (now working in Comilla municipality), former sub-assistant engineer of the municipality Md Rafiqul Hassan (Russel) (now working in Gazipur municipality), its urban planner Farzana Islam, RAJUK architect ATM Masud Reza and its structural engineer Sazzad Hossain.
Headed by a joint secretary of the LGRD ministry, Md Akhtar Hossain, the probe committee submitted its report with six-point recommendations before the secretary of the ministry on Thursday.
The committee noted that the eight persons had approved the building's design, bypassing the original plan, and added additional seven to tenth floors to the ill-fated building by creating a new file, which was a gross negligence on their part. The probe panel also charged them with abuse of power.
After receiving the inquiry report, LGRD secretary Abu Alam Shaheed Khan told The Independent that they have suspended the Savar municipal mayor, Md Refayetullah.
"At the same time, the ministry issued a show-cause notice to mayor Md Refayetullah asking him to inform the ministry within seven working days why
he should not be dismissed from the mayoral post," he said.
"We also asked the authorities concerned like Rajuk to take necessary action against the officials for alleged negligence of their duties in this regard," he added.
The secretary also said that they have already asked all the municipalities to follow the Bangladesh national Building Code before approving any building.
According to the probe report, Md Refayetullah has failed to submit the file of the plan and design of the Rana Plaza (semi basement to fifh floor) because the file had been lost. The building's layout plan was twice approved by the mayor, though he had never inspected the site. Md Refayetullah, however, told committee members that he had approved the plan and design of the building as per the building code.
An LGRD ministry senior official said that all the eight people responsible for the tragedy are likely to be arrested if the authorities concerned seek action against them.
Meanwhile, the government has withdrawn Kabir Hossain Sarder, upazila nirbahi officer (UNO) of Savar upazila under Dhaka district, on Thursday on charges of gross negligence of his duties as he failed to prevent the collapse of Rana Plaza, which
claimed the lives of over 432 workers and injured at least 2,500 others on
April 24.
Kabir Hossain Sarder was made OSD (officer on special duty) of the Public Administration Ministry, issued by a circular by the ministry. The UNO was withdrawn after publishing a news story on The Independent on Thursday.
The UNO had provided a 'risk-free certificate' to the owner of the building, Sohel Rana, even after cracks were spotted on Rana Plaza.
Kabir Hossain Sarder, a BCS administration cadre officer, joined as UNO here 18 months ago.
The chief of another inquiry committee and additional secretary of the home ministry, Mainuddin Khandokar, said they have launched an inquiry into the matter and will soon submit its report.
The owner of Rana Plaza, Sohel Rana, his father Abdul Khaleque, and high-ranking officials of three garment factories housed in the collapsed building have already been arrested on charges of violation of the building code and willful negligence.

Ranbir Kapoor becomes a salesman to promote new Renault KWID
09 Aug, 2018 - 11:46 AM IST | By indiantelevision.com Team
MUMBAI: The Renault KWID has been a true game-changer. In just three years, the car has sold over 2.5 lakh units. Now, Renault has launched the new feature-loaded KWID that comes with reverse parking camera, rear armrest and rear 12 V socket.
To communicate the car's capability and new features, L&K Saatchi & Saatchi has conceptualised a new integrated campaign. This will be rolled out across TV, radio, print and digital media.

In three years we have grown strongly with more than 2.5 lakh happy customers across India. This campaign uses SUV imagery to bring alive the strengths of this big small car."
L&K Saatchi & Saatchi executive director Charles Victor adds, "Young Indians are increasingly doing short drive holidays and self-driven/planned trips making the SUV-inspired Renault KWID a perfect match for this growing lifestyle. We married this ready-to-explore-the-world attitude with the new KWID and the result was this charming piece of communication."
L&K Saatchi & Saatchi executive creative director Kartik Smetacek mentions, "The task for the campaign was to add a new dimension to the KWID brand. Inspired by its SUV design, we wanted to reposition it as an ally in adventure."

(It's worth noting that the diminutive Hsieh served at an average speed of 82 miles per hour.) At the realization she'd won the match, Hsieh let go a scream and then a steady stream of tears.
The 32-year-old Hsieh has progressed to the Wimbledon last-16 for the first time and will meet Dominika Cibulkova, who raced past 15th seed Elise Mertens of Belgium 6-2 6-2.
"I am really enjoying playing tennis".
"She played awesome, I had to run and fight for every point. I was pretty nervous at the beginning especially playing the first match of the day".
The Taiwanese was right about one thing, Halep did indeed fight hard. Two games down in the third set I kept fighting. "This is the first time I have beaten the World No. 1, it is incredible", she said.
Defeat for the French Open champion means only one of the top 10 seeds in the women's singles have reached the last 16 - Czech seventh seed Karolina Pliskova. And just like that the ever-unpredictable women's draw has been thrown open again.
The Taiwanese-Chinese duo saved two of four break points and converted six of 11, winning 60 of the 105 points contested to set up a second-round match against Christina McHale of the U.S. and Jelena Ostapenko of Latvia.
With nine of the top 10 women's seeds eliminated already, Hsieh has a chance to go deep into the tournament. Before her, Wozniacki's star faded after she won the Australian Open crown in January.
World No. 48 Hsieh took just 65 minutes to complete a 6-3, 6-3 victory over Spanish world No. 88 Lara Arruabarrena on Court 17.
For the first time at Wimbledon, none of the top five women's seeds reached the round of 16.
The way Halep was made to earn her maiden Slam though raised hopes of a more tempered run from her.
The 20-year-old Tiafoe said he started feeling badly late in the third set after taking the opening two against Karen Khachanov of Russian Federation before fading to a 4-6, 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2, 6-1 loss.
At Wimbledon she had been hitting well.
Halep held two break points in the last game, but failed to convert either. I tried to concentrate on my game and it helped a lot. If I didn't fight, I wouldn't have got through. "She deserved to win, but still I'm sad about myself".
Top-seeded Roger Federer and second-seeded Rafael Nadal remain alive on each side of the men's draw, but five of the top 10 seeds there have been eliminated.
German fourth seed Alexander Zverev, who nearly quit his second round match through illness, faces Latvian qualifier Ernests Gulbis.
Getting to the fourth round equals her best run at a major tournament in singles, although she does own two Grand Slam doubles championships. The 2016 champion, she returned to Wimbledon after skipping last year's edition due to pregnancy.
At the start of the year, she flummoxed Spanish big-hitter Garbine Muguruza at the Australian Open and tied former champion Angelique Kerber in knots before running out of gas. The Romanian admitted she could have played much better.
